Remarks Te single otolith, despite being small (<2 mm) and showing some abrasion, exhibits diagnostic characters that align with the family Callionymidae . Tese include a triangular outline, marked middorsal angle, and the slightly inclined sulcus opening antero-ventrally. Furthermore, the presence of a short posterior rim without an extended posterior part suggests a closer resemblance to the genus Repomucenus (Lin & Chang, 2012: pl. 124).
